To 'beat the odds' against breast cancer, doctors are looking toward genetics. Not just the genetics of the women who develop breast cancer, but of the cancer itself. And it's helping them tailor treatment to kill cancer more effectively, while sparing patients unnecessary side effects.

Marjorie Anderson of Strawberry Mansion isn't sitting back in her retirement.

She's too busy raising her adopted teenage daughters.

"They were good for me, and I was good for them. So we make the perfect match," Marjorie chuckles.

When Marjorie learned she had DCIS - a non-invasive form of breast cancer, she & her daughters worried she'd need radiation or surgery.

"Cancer, I don't think that's a word that anyone wants to hear."

That's used to be standard for DCIS, because doctors couldn't tell which cases would become invasive cancer.

"They said 'Mommy - if something happens to you, what's going to happen to us?'" she recalls.

Daughter Alyaha adds, "I was worried a little bit. she means a lot to me."
